The PSSA/Alpha Pharm clinical education programme for pharmacy staff

Recognising that consumers frequently encounter front-shop assistants or pharmacist’s assistants before they speak to the pharmacist, the PSSA and Alpha Pharm have launched a clinical education programme for pharmacy staff. All pharmacy staff need to be familiar with the use of unscheduled medicines and should be reminded of when it is necessary to refer the patient to the pharmacist.
